I did a reading of my new story at the Georgetown Literary Festival… and honestly, I never thought I’d be doing this again.
After publishing “How to Thrive as a Misfit”, I really thought that was my one and done.
This story is a deeply personal one about my mom, her childhood in Penang, and how her quiet strength shaped the woman (and mother) I am today.
What made the moment even more special?
Having my mom and my son there with me.
How many of us have considered interviewing our parents or elders to capture their stories before they’re lost?
👉🏻I’d love to hear…have you ever done it, and what did you learn?
